NEWS REGARDING (FEC) - FOREIGN EXCHANGE CERTIFICATE & CREDIT CARDS!
Myanmar relaxes FEC requirements
In a move welcomed by the travel trade, free independent travellers (FIT) visiting Myanmar no longer must buy the minimum US$ 200 worth of foreign exchange certificates (FEC) previously required by law.
US sanctions have caused the FEC, which is pegged to the US dollar, to depreciate in value. One FEC was equivalent to US$1.
Previously those with FIT visas had to buy the FEC upon arrival. They could make purchases using the FEC but it was inconvenient, as some establishments did not want to accept the currency. It also ment that they had to spend at least 200 FEC (US$ 200) in the country. Only those who had bought in excess of US$ 200 could have the extra amount exchanged back to US dollers at the airport on their departure.
Meanwhile, US sanctions have also caused American banks such as MaserCard and Visa to temporarily cease trading since two years ago. Though most of the international chain or management hotels like Nikko, Kandawgyi Palace, Sedona, Grand Plaza Park Royal, Traders, Summit Park View in Yangon and Mandalay could accept the credit cards, we would like to advise the Tourists going to the destination should bring cash or arrange for financial transfers with local operators as most of the properties, shops and restaurants in other destinations are still not able to accept the credit cards yet. You can check the up-to-date information of places or hotels who could accept credit cards with our travel consultants.
